RECOMMENDED EXPENDITURES Based on a review of existing needs and allowable uses, staff is recommending the following uses for this funding: . Volunteers in Policing Services (VIPS) Program Funding ($5000) The VIPS program continues to expand and integrate throughout the organization. This funding will provide field equipment, training, uniforms, program literature and supplies for police volunteers. Per the National Association of Citizen's on Patrol, the national comparable hourly rate of a police volunteer is $16.64. These dedicated persons served over 7,300 hours since January 2006, which equates to a $12l,472 savings for the City of Pleasant on. . Krimesite Imager ($17,000) The Krimesite Imager is a device that utilizes Ultra Violet light to locate latent prints invisible to the naked eye on a variety of surfaces. Once located, a digital photo or video captures the latent print image and the image is then processed. This technology may greatly increase the probability of suspect identification. . Mounted AR-15 Lighting System ($12,220) These funds will be used to outfit all department rifles with a rifle mounted lighting system. A strong light source will greatly increase officers' ability to distinguish between threats and non-threats when searching in low light conditions. . Centurion Scout Alarm ($7,000) The Centurion Scout Alarm is a portable wireless alarm system deployable in a variety of ways that targets high-risk situations including: Frequent burglaries or vandalism sites; construction and storage site thefts; and repeat domestic violence. These incidents predominately occur at night in isolated areas out of public view, making it difficult for law enforcement to be alerted until after a crime has been completed. The Scout Alarm can be activated by a wide range of trigger devices and sensors, including door & window contacts, motion detectors, sensor pads, trip beams, and mercury tilt switches. One or all sensors can be deployed along with video cams with low light applications and recording capability. The Scout Alarm is integrated into a police radio and any activation would be simultaneously transmitted over the police radio system initiating an immediate police response. This equipment can also be shared with other law enforcement agencies working with the Pleasanton Police Department to address regional theft issues. . Click2Enter ($6,410) The Click2Enter product is an electronic scanner system that automatically opens electric gates and door systems via a radio signal. This state of the art technology allows emergency services (Police & Fire) immediate access to gated areas and complexes with the click of a microphone. Once an emergency vehicle is within close proximity to the system and a radio microphone is depressed, the preprogrammed radio frequencies will activate the system and open the gate. This system will initially be placed on the two police facility gates and the drive-in sally port door leading to the police holding facility. The police department will then partner with several "high response" gated communities and complexes to install the system and further evaluate its effectiveness. Eight units will be purchased at a cost of $650.00 each. 2
